An illegal immigrant who passes the bar exam and demonstrates good moral character should be eligible to practice law, the State Bar has declared in a court filing.
The bar, which oversees California's 225,000 lawyers, told the state Supreme Court on Monday that federal law leaves regulation of the legal profession largely up to the states and does not appear to prohibit Sergio C. Garcia, 35, of Chico from obtaining an attorney's license.
Garcia was 17 months old when his parents brought him to the United States from Mexico. He returned to Mexico with them at age 9, came back at 17, put himself through college and law school and passed the bar on his first try in 2009. He has been working as a paralegal.
His father, now a legal U.S. resident, sponsored Garcia's application for legal status and a green card in 1994. Garcia told an interviewer last year that he expects to wait another five to 15 years for approval.
In the meantime, the bar has certified his moral fitness to practice law, but the state's high court, which licenses attorneys in California, put his application on hold last month and said it would use the case to decide whether undocumented immigrants are eligible to practice law. A similar case is pending in Florida.

NOT SO FAST Keep in mind, these border violaters are practiced connivers, expert at "invention," pretending to be model citizens---duping people---saying whatever is necessary to get what they want.
THE MORE ACCURATE FAMILY HISTORYThe family snuck into the US, rode the gravy train for several years under multiple identities. They then went back to Mexico (deported for unknown reasons?) Years later, they snuck back in (On a coyote truck?) Sergio went to college and law school----getting a very expensive education subsidized by US taxpayers without their knowledge or consent. Now he's posing as "a model citizen," even has a steady job in his chosen field. The father claims he himself is a legal and loving father and sponsored his own son's bid for a green card. Typically, they duped the state bar into certifyung his "moral fitness."
=================================================
DATELINE-NBC RECENTLY DID THE STORY ABOUT THE Bike Path rapist/serial murderer---Altemio Sanchez. For years Sanchez lived the charmed life of a model citizen, ideal husband and father, Little League coach, a proud latino w/ a steady job. Beneath his invented facade, he was a savage rapist and murderer who had committed countless heinous crimes for decades.
Sanchez was a classic sociopath---completely without conscience---reinventing himself as a model citizen---knowing he was duping his friends, neighbors, employers.
Dateline-NBC broadcast pics of Sanchez laughing at a party, sitting beside his smiling wife, just hours after he had brutally murdered a woman. At another point, Sanchez smilingly participated in a marathon race, held to commemorate one of his victims.
This "model citizen" let an innocent man rot in jail for 23 years for crimes Sanchez knew he, himself, had committed.
Sanchez was a suspect at the beginning of his crime spree (eyewitness description), but Sanchez escaped justice b/c his latino uncle lied to police about his nephew's whereabouts, leaving Sanchez free to rape and kill over and over again.
Twenty years later, the uncle admitted he lied, Sanchez was arrested, and pled guilty to 15 rapes and three murders but Buffalo, NY police say Sanchez actually committed 22 rapes...and probably even more murders. He was sentenced to 75 years in prison.
==========================================================
All of the official documents submitted by the Garcia's need to be rigorously scrutinized for falsifications. We need to determine how many identities Sergio Garcia and his conniving family used to ride the US gravy train and how much they've scammed from taxpayers to invent their "model citizen" status.......and all the other lies he's hiding.
BACKSTORY Florida discovered huge hordes of illegals on voters rolls when it called up names from the voter rolls for jury duty. Illegals said they could not serve on juries-—b/c they were not citizens.
LET’S APPLAUD FLORIDA’S EFFORT TO SAVE DEMOCRACY FROM MARAUDING BANDS OF THIRD WORLDERS AND THE OBAMA DOJ.
Obama, and other vote-crazed US politicians, will do anything to get illegal votes.....even sacrifice the US Constitution. If Florida does not act, the US will have compromised its sacrosanct system of democracy.
The monumental stupidity of the state bar is unfathomable.
The guy is an illegal and CANNOT serve on a jury.
How, then, can he possibly serve as an officer of the court?
“State Bar says let illegal immigrant practice law”
Well, it is Mexifornia after all.
Are there still European Americans still there?
If they can practice law then why is graduating from Law School even required? Or even graduating from any college? Including a community college and having an Associates Degree. Let High School grads practice law!
Let's say we have a high school graduate who has an IQ of 135, joined MENSA when he was 12, and can pass the Bar Exam. Why not let HIM practice law??? He passed the Bar Exam, what more do you need. For that matter why even require a HS diploma. Pass the Bar Exam and you're in - No Questions Asked.
After all it's not like everyone hasn't seen or dealt with a 'lawyer' whose dumber than dirt (see: any Traffic Court or 'Obama'). And can only make a real living by settling 'Slip and Fall' lawsuits.
